Interweaving still photography, audio and video, this event is a uniquely 
intimate look at the human cost of this 34 day conflict that took the 
lives of over 1300 people, wounded thousands more, and displaced over one 
million....

Democracy Now! correspondent Ana Nogueira and Redux Pictures 
photojournalist Andrew Stern traveled to Lebanon while the war raged, and 
stayed for five weeks post ceasefire to document the aftermath of the war. 
Their work takes us to scenes of horrific bombings in the southern suburbs 
of Beirut to the ruins of Southern Lebanon's Bint Jbail, Aita Chaab and 
Qana, from tobacco fields littered with Israeli cluster bombs to the 
oil-slicked Lebanese coastline.

Featuring interviews with survivors and families of those not so 
fortunate, this event will provide a rare glimpse into the hearts of 
ordinary people whose lives have been changed forever, and ultimately 
reveals the steadfast determination of the Lebanese people to survive and 
rebuild their country in the face of unimaginable violence and national 
anguish.
